Doctoral studies in Geology investigate core principles within Earth Sciences, examining topics from planetary formation to contemporary geological processes and transformations.
A Geology Ph.D. typically requires substantial fieldwork and equips graduates for academic roles or diverse geoscience careers spanning specialties like landform analysis, hydrogeology, rock formation studies, geochemical processes, tectonic movements, volcanic activity, and planetary mapping.
Our researchers utilize NASA and NSF-supported projects to study Earth and planetary systems through advanced laboratory facilities.
